Pop Star: Faye in New Jersey

“I celebrated my 18th year with type 1 diabetes. When I saw bright orange candy melts at the store, I knew I HAD to make cake pops shaped like insulin bottles. I use NovoLog in my insulin pump, so what better way to celebrate my dia-versary than to eat cake shaped like the stuff that keeps me alive and kicking! Thanks so much for the inspiration. My officemates say you’re making them fat ;)” – Faye

Oh my goodness, these are amazing!!! And I love the term “dia-versary.” I just had my 10 year dia-versary this year. Oh, the irony that you need to take Novolog in order to eat these Novolog pops. I will get my pump ready!!!

I was diagnosed with T1D when I was 13 and for the first few years on my dia-versary my mom would invite all my friends over to have some cake and celebrate another year of being stronger and being able to ‘have my cake and eat it too’. 8 years later, I haven’t had a party on my dia-versary in a long time, but it’s coming up next month so I MAY just have to try my hand at these. Pumping humalog, so hopefully I can get the colour right :) Maybe I’ll make Lantis versions so I can make pretty purple ones, lol.
Love the spirit! Stay strong :)

I laughed out loud when I saw this! How unexpected! I celebrated my 30th diaversary this year. I love to bake and eat cake as well! The irony that there are so many of us TiD who found these cake pops! My insulin pump is primed and ready! Thanks for your creativity!

My husband and my son are both type 1 diabetics. So you can image the amount of Novolog that we go through in this house. They love their sweets. I love these pops. They are the absolute best I’ve seen yet.
